North Korea calls Trump a barking dog.

[A Theist]

In the past the U.S. was unable to bring China and Russia to a unanimous vote on the UN Security Council condemning NOKO and its pursuit nuclear weapons in addition to threatening its neighbors. Under the Trump administration the U.S. was able to do that.

i think this is more a matter of NK not only having a working uranium bomb, but a working hydrogen bomb as well, along with a delivery system. NK might be shooting those missiles out over the Pacific, but the Chinese at the very least, and probably the Russians as well, understand that the message is that we can hit your cities too. They came on board because NK is outliving its usefulness as a puppet for their desires to embarrass America. Both countries understand that a nuclear NK will only increase American presence in the region, and that is something neither country wants.

I'll say this: Trump was absolutely right to not place US/ROK readiness exercises on the negotiating table.

The U.S. also sent a strong warning to any nation regarding the latest round of sanctions against NOKO. Choose either to do business with the United States or choose to do business with North Korea. The Bank Of China just announced a few hours ago that it is stopping all business with North Korea. Kim Jung Un, the Rocket Boy fired two missiles over Japan, threatened Guam, threatened South Korea, and threatened the United States and the left is going bat shit crazy because President Trump called the fat little Tyrant, "Rocket Man". 

The only embarrassment is you goofy ass fuckers on the left. Next stop, Iran.

1) Ceasing business with China is not going to happen. The decision made today is no doubt driven by internal Chinese motivations (see above), because they know as well as you and I the effects empty Walmart shelves would have on the American economy. It was, and is, a hollow threat Trump made.

2) As for Iran, Trump is setting the stage for a nuclear-armed Iran. Rather than write, "Next stop, Iran," you should have written, "Next start, Iran." The Iranians lived with decades of sanctions as well, and if they feel threatened, they will retreat back into that as they arm up to ensure no regime change happens there as well.

Let us know when NK announces that it's halting nuclear arms development. That is the victory condition here. Until that happens, all the bluster in the world is useless prattle.

I never said that I thought NOKO under the Kim regime would end its nuclear arms development. I believe somewhere down the road the U.S. with Japan and South Korea will have to take some kind of military action. China already warned NK that if it was the agressor they would stay out of any conflict between them and the U.S., and I don't think Kim is smart enough to not provoke an incident.

Getting rid of Kim would be the ultimate victory condition. Get rid of Kim and we may be able to halt NOKO's nuclear arms development.
